The Evil of the Daleks was on its middle episode today - the fourth - in 1967. This was the one which was recorded whilst Patrick Troughton was on holiday. The scenes showing him monitoring Jamie's attempts to recue Victoria were all pre-filmed.
Also on its fourth instalment was The Time Monster in 1972. This was the episode set mostly within the confines of the TARDISes of the Doctor and the Master.
In 2006 The Satan Pit brought the latest two part story to a conclusion. Unhappy at bumping off all the Ood, Russell T Davies would be prompted to write a further story which concentrated on the creatures.
Of all the classic era aliens which have been revived for the series, the Ice Warriors have been used the most sparingly. There have only been two stories to date, and the second of these made its debut today in 2017 - Empress of Mars. This introduced a new type of Warrior - the titular Empress.
Old school fans were especially pleased to see the cameo by Alpha Centauri, once again voiced by Ysanne Churchman, who had voiced the character in the two Peladon stories of the mid 1970's.
